DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate corresponding or identical elements throughout the various drawings.

First Embodiment

FIG. 8A shows a printed wiring board of a first embodiment. Printed wiring board 10 has core substrate 30 formed with upper insulation layer (20F) and lower insulation layer (20S).

FIG. 4B shows core substrate 30. Upper conductive layer (34F) is formed on upper insulation layer (20F) and lower conductive layer (34S) is formed under lower insulation layer (20S). Middle conductive layer 38 is formed between the upper insulation layer and the lower insulation layer. Upper via conductor (35F) is formed in opening (31F) of upper insulation layer (20F) to connect upper conductive layer (34F) and middle conductive layer 38. Lower via conductor (35S) is formed in opening (31S) of lower insulation layer (20S) to connect lower conductive layer (34S) and middle conductive layer 38. Middle conductive layer 38 is formed by patterning core metal foil (22C) and electrolytic plated film 24 formed on core metal foil (22C). Upper via conductor (35F) is formed to taper with a diameter decreasing downward, and lower via conductor (35S) is formed to taper with a diameter decreasing upward.

As shown in FIG. 8A, in a printed wiring board of the first embodiment, four layers of first insulation layers (50F) each having first conductive layer (58F) and first via conductor (60F) are built up on first surface (F) of core substrate 30, while four layers of second insulation layers (50S) each having second conductive layer (58S) and second via conductor (60S) are built up on second surface (S) of core substrate 30. Solder-resist layer (70F) is formed on the uppermost first insulation layer (50F), and solder bump (76F) is formed in opening (71F) of solder-resist layer (70F). Solder-resist layer (70S) is formed on the lowermost second insulation layer (50S), and solder bump (76S) is formed in opening (71S) of solder-resist layer (70S).

FIG. 8B is a side view of the printed wiring board shown in FIG. 8A. Namely, FIG. 8B is a view showing sidewall (10E) as seen from the direction of arrow “b” in FIG. 8A. Middle conductive layer 38 is extended to sidewall (10E) to be exposed thereon. End-surface through hole 78, which is a half-split through hole, is exposed on sidewall (10E). Middle conductive layer 38 and end-surface through hole 78 are connected to each other. End-surface through hole 78 is formed on each of four side surfaces of a rectangular printed wiring board. End-surface through hole 78 connects part of conductive layer (58F) on outermost upper buildup layer (50F) and part of conductive layer (58S) on outermost lower buildup layer (50S).

Printed wiring board 10 of the first embodiment is structured to have a middle conductive layer 38 positioned in the center of core substrate 30. Thus, because of the rigidity of thick middle conductive layer 38, warping is suppressed in printed wiring board 10, and demand for thinner boards is satisfied.

Thermal conductivity of printed wiring board 10 of the first embodiment is improved by middle conductive layer 38 made of metal. Since middle conductive layer 38, which is formed in the center of core substrate 30 and set to be thick, is connected to end-surface through holes 78 provided on end surfaces of printed wiring board 10, heat in the printed wiring board is efficiently radiated through end-surface through holes 78. Accordingly, heat radiation is high. Moreover, the printed wiring board is provided with filled vias (60F, 60S), which are formed in all the upper buildup layers (50F) and lower buildup layers (50S) respectively and are arrayed along axis (X2) of upper via conductor (35F) and its opposing lower via conductor (35S) that are connected to middle conductive layer 38. Therefore, heat generated in the electronic component mounted on the upper surface is efficiently radiated toward the lower-surface side.

The printed wiring board of the first embodiment has through-hole conductor 36 connecting upper conductive layer (34F) and lower conductive layer (34S). Via conductors (60F, 60S) in the interlayer resin insulation layers are formed to be filled vias.

FIG. 8C shows a view where electronic component 90 such as an IC chip is mounted on the printed wiring board shown in FIG. 8A and metallic encapsulating cap 94 (heat radiation member) is fixed thereon. Electronic component 90 is mounted by connecting terminal 92 to solder bump (76F) of the printed wiring board. Edge (94E) of cap 94 is connected to land (78L) of end-surface through hole 78. The upper surface of electronic component 90 is in contact with cap 94. In the first embodiment, since heat generated in the electronic component is conducted directly to end-surface through hole 78 by way of cap 94, heat from the mounted electronic component is efficiently radiated. In the first embodiment, since cap 94 and middle conductive layer 38 are connected to a power line or a ground line, noise from the electronic component is suppressed from adversely affecting the outside.

Manufacturing Method in First Embodiment

A method for manufacturing printed wiring board 10 of the first embodiment is shown with reference to FIG. 1˜6.

(1) Support plate 18 is prepared. Support plate 18 is, for example, a copper-clad laminate (double-sided copper-clad laminate) made of an insulative base and copper foil (not shown) laminated on both surfaces of the insulative base. The support plate has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. Lower metal foil (22S) is provided on the first and second surfaces of support plate 18. Metal foil (22S) is a copper foil, for example, and has a thickness of 12 μm. B-stage resin film 22 is provided to be placed on lower metal foil (22S), and core metal foil (22C) is provided to be placed on resin film 22 (FIG. 1A). The thickness of core metal foil (22C) is 12 μm. Lower metal foil (22S) is laminated on the first and second surfaces of support plate 18. The peripheries of the metal foil and the support plate are fixed to each other. The copper-clad laminate and metal foil are bonded using ultrasonic waves. The metal foil and the support plate are bonded at fixed portion 14. The width of the fixed portion is 30 mm. The fixed portion is in a frame shape. B-stage resin film is laminated on lower metal foil (22S), and core metal foil (22C) is further laminated thereon (FIG. 1B). Then, the resin film is cured, and lower insulation layer (20S) is formed on the support plate accordingly. Lower insulation layer (20S) contains inorganic particles and includes a core material. Examples of inorganic particles are those made of silica, alumina and hydroxides. Examples of hydroxides are metal hydroxides such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, and barium hydroxide. Hydroxides are decomposed by heat to produce water. As a result, hydroxides are thought to rob heat of the material forming insulation layers. Namely, when lower insulation layer (20S) contains a hydroxide, laser processability is thought to be enhanced. As for the core material (reinforcement material), glass cloth, aramid fiber, glass fiber or the like, for example, may be used. Among those, glass cloth is preferred.

(2) Electrolytic plated film 24 is formed on core metal foil (22C) to form middle conductive layer 38 made up of metal foil (22C) and electrolytic plated film 24 (FIG. 1C).

(3) Etching resist 26 with a predetermined pattern is formed on electrolytic plated film 24 (FIG. 1D).

(4) Electrolytic plated film 24 and core metal foil (22C) where no etching resist is formed are etched away to form penetrating hole (38 a) (FIG. 2A). Then, the etching resist is removed and middle conductive layer 38 made of electrolytic plated film 24 and core metal foil (22C) is formed (FIG. 2B). Penetrating hole (38 a) tapers from the upper surface toward the lower surface of the middle conductive layer. The thickness of middle conductive layer 38 is 50˜200 μm.

(5) On the first surface of the lower insulation layer and on middle conductive layer 38, upper insulation layer (20F) and upper metal foil (22F) are formed (FIG. 2C). The upper insulation layer also contains inorganic particles the same as above, and includes core material. However, it is also an option for the upper insulation layer not to include core material. Upper metal foil (22F) is copper foil, for example, the same as the lower metal foil, and has a thickness of 25 μm. When upper insulation layer (20F) is laminated, penetrating hole (38 a) of the middle conductive layer is filled with resin (20C) derived from upper insulation layer (20F).

Since penetrating hole (38 a) is set to taper from the upper surface toward the lower surface in the method for manufacturing a printed wiring board of the present embodiment, resin from the upper-surface side upper insulation layer (20F) is filled more easily, and voids are less likely to occur in penetrating hole (38 a).

(6) The intermediate bodies with the support plate are cut along the (Z1-Z1) lines in FIG. 2D. The cut portions are positioned inside fixed portions 14. Intermediate body (30 a) is separated from support plate 18 (FIG. 3A).

(7) Laser is irradiated on upper insulation layer (20F). Upper opening (31F) is formed in the upper insulation layer to reach middle conductive layer 38. Laser is irradiated on lower insulation layer (20S). Lower opening (31S) is formed in the lower insulation layer to reach middle conductive layer 38. In addition, laser is irradiated on upper insulation layer (20F) and lower insulation layer (20S) to form penetrating hole 31 for a through-hole conductor (FIG. 3B). Upper opening (31F) tapers from the surface of the upper insulation layer toward middle conductive layer 38. Lower opening (31S) tapers from the surface of the lower insulation layer toward middle conductive layer 38. Penetrating hole 31 for a through-hole conductor is formed in an hourglass shape, tapering from the surface of the upper insulation layer while tapering from the surface of the lower insulation layer.

(8) Electroless plated film 42 is formed on upper metal foil (22F) and lower metal foil (22S) and on the inner walls of upper and lower openings (31F, 31S) and of penetrating hole 31 for a through-hole conductor (FIG. 3C).

(9) Using the electroless plated film as a seed layer, electrolytic plated film 46 is formed on electroless plated film 42. Upper opening (31F) and lower opening (31S) are filled with electrolytic plated film 46, and electrolytic plated film 46 is formed on electroless plated film 42 positioned on upper metal foil (22F) and lower metal foil (22S) (FIG. 3D).

(10) Etching resist 44 with a predetermined pattern is formed on electrolytic plated film 46 positioned on the first-surface (F) side and second-surface (S) side (FIG. 4A).

(11) Electrolytic plated film 46, electroless plated film 42 and upper metal foil (22F) on the first-surface (F) side where no etching resist is formed, as well as electrolytic plated film 46, electroless plated film 42 and lower metal foil (22S) on the second-surface (S) side where no etching resist is formed, are removed by etching. Then, the etching resist is removed. Accordingly, core substrate 30 is provided with upper conductive layer (34F) made up of electrolytic plated film 46, electroless plated film 42 and upper metal foil (22F) to be positioned on the first-surface (F) side, as well as lower conductive layer (34S) made up of electrolytic plated film 46, electroless plated film 42 and lower metal foil (22S) to be positioned on the second-surface (S) side (FIG. 4B). The thicknesses of upper conductive layer (34F) and lower conductive layer (34S) are each 20 μm.

(12) First insulation layer (50F) and metal foil 53 are formed on first surface (F), and second insulation layer (50S) and metal foil 53 are formed on second surface (S) of core substrate 30 (FIG. 4C). First insulation layer (50F) is formed on the first surface of the upper insulation layer and on upper conductive layer (34F). Second insulation layer (50S) is formed on the second surface of the lower insulation layer and on lower conductive layer (34S). The thicknesses of the insulation layers are each 40 μm˜60 μm. Metal foil 53 is copper foil, for example, the same as the upper and lower metal foils, and has a thickness of 12 μm. The first and second insulation layers contain inorganic particles and reinforcement material. The material and the thickness of the first and second insulation layers are preferred to be the same as those of the upper and lower insulation layers.

(13) Next, using a CO2 gas laser, first and second via-conductor openings (51F, 51S) are respectively formed in first insulation layer (50F) and second insulation layer (50S) (FIG. 4D).

(14) Electroless plated film 52 is formed on metal foil 53 positioned on first and second insulation layers (50F, 50S) and in first and second openings (51F, 51S) (FIG. 5A).

(15) Using the electroless plated film as a seed layer, electrolytic plated film 56 is formed on electroless plated film 52. First opening (51F) and second opening (51S) are filled with electrolytic plated film 56, and electrolytic plated film 56 is formed on electroless plated film 52 positioned on metal foil 53 (FIG. 5B).

(16) Etching resist 54 with a predetermined pattern is formed on electrolytic plated film 56 (FIG. 5C).

(17) Electrolytic plated film 56, electroless plated film 52 and metal foil 53 where no etching resist is formed are etched away, and the etching resist is removed. Accordingly, first via conductor (60F) is formed in first opening (51F); second via conductor (60S) is formed in second opening (51S); first conductive layer (58F) made of electrolytic plated film 56, electroless plated film 52 and metal foil 53 is formed on the first surface of the first insulation layer; and second conductive layer (58S) made of electrolytic plated film 56, electroless plated film 52 and metal foil 53 is formed on the second surface of the second insulation layer (FIG. 5D).

(18) Procedures described with reference to FIG. 4C˜5D are repeated so that two layers of first insulation layers (50F) each having first conductive layer (58F) and first via conductor (60F), along with two layers of second insulation layers (50S) each having second conductive layer (58S) and second via conductor (60S), are further built up. Then, first insulation layer (50F), second insulation layer (50S) and metal foil 53 are further laminated as outermost layers (FIG. 6A).

(19) Using a CO2 gas laser, first via conductor opening (51F) and second via conductor opening (51S) are respectively formed in outermost first insulation layer (50F) and outermost second insulation layer (50S). Elliptical penetrating hole 77 for a through-hole conductor is formed by dicing an edge of the printed wiring board (FIG. 6B). FIG. 9A is a plan view of penetrating hole 77 for a through-hole conductor shown in FIG. 6B.

(20) Procedures described with reference to FIG. 5A˜5D are repeated so that first conductive layer (58F) and via conductor (60F) are provided for outermost first insulation layer (50F), and second conductive layer (58S) and via conductor (60S) are provided for outermost second insulation layer (50S). At the same time, through-hole conductor (78H) is formed in penetrating hole 77 for a through-hole conductor (FIG. 6C). FIG. 9B is a plan view of through-hole conductor (78H) shown in FIG. 6C. Here, the thicknesses of first conductive layer (58F) and second conductive layer (58S) are each 20 μm.

(21) Upper solder-resist layer (70F) having opening (71F) is formed on uppermost first insulation layer (50F), and lower solder-resist layer (70S) having opening (71S) is formed on lowermost second insulation layer (50S) (FIG. 7A). Through-hole conductor (78H) and through-hole land (78L) are exposed from the solder-resist layer. FIG. 9C is a plan view of through-hole conductor (78H) shown in FIG. 7A. Upper surfaces of conductive layers (58F, 58S) and via conductors (60F, 60S) that are exposed respectively from openings (71F, 71S) work as pads (71FP, 71SP).

(22) As shown in FIG. 7B, the printed wiring board is cut along the (X1-X1) line, which is the end surface inside elliptical through-hole conductor (78H), so that end-surface through hole 78 is formed on an end surface of the printed wiring board (FIG. 7C). FIG. 9D is a plan view of through-hole conductor 78(H) shown in FIG. 7B, and FIG. 9E is a plan view of end-surface through hole 78 shown in FIG. 7C.

Nickel-plated layer 72 is formed on pads (71 FP, 71 SP) exposed from the solder-resist layers and on end-surface through hole 78, and gold-plated layer 74 is further formed on nickel-plated layer 72. By so setting, oxidation of end-surface through hole 78 is prevented. Solder paste is provided in openings (71F, 71S), and reflow is conducted. Accordingly, solder bump (76F) is formed on the upper buildup layer, and solder bump (76S) is formed on the lower buildup layer. Printed wiring board 10 is completed (FIG. 8A).

Since the method for manufacturing a printed wiring board of the first embodiment is set to have a structure where middle conductive layer 38 is formed in the center of core substrate 30, warping is suppressed because of the rigidity of middle conductive layer 38, while demand for a thinner board is satisfied. Also, since a core substrate is formed on support plate 18, which is subsequently removed, a core substrate structured to have a middle conductive layer is obtained by simplified procedures. Accordingly, manufacturing cost is reduced, while manufacturing yield is enhanced.

First Modified Example of First Embodiment

FIG. 10 is a view showing a printed wiring board according to a first modified example of the first embodiment. In a printed wiring board of the first modified example, a heat-radiation sheet 79 is provided on end-surface through hole 78, and heat radiation capability is further enhanced.

Second Modified Example of First Embodiment

FIG. 11 is a view showing a printed wiring board according to a second modified example of the first embodiment. In a printed wiring board of the second modified example, metal core piece (38 b) is formed, being insulated by resin filled in penetrating hole (38 a) of metal core 38. Via conductor (35F) formed in upper insulation layer (20F) and via conductor (35S) formed in lower insulation layer (20S) are connected to metal core piece (38 b), and first insulation layer (50F) and second insulation layer (50S) are joined.

As electronic devices get thinner, built-in printed wiring boards are required to be thinner. When a printed wiring board is made thinner, the rigidity of insulation layers decreases and warping or the like tends to occur. A highly rigid metal plate may be used inside a core substrate for a multilayer buildup printed wiring board with buildup layers formed on a core substrate. Use of a metal plate also improves the thermal conductivity of a printed wiring board.

In a printed wiring board formed with a metal core, heat is conducted to the metal core, but the heat is hard to release from the metal core efficiently because the metal core is structured to be sandwiched by resin insulation layers with low heat conductivity.

A printed wiring board according to an embodiment of the present invention exhibits high heat radiation capability.

A printed wiring board according to one aspect of the present invention has the following: a multilayer core substrate which is formed with three—upper, middle and lower—conductive layers, an upper insulation layer disposed between the upper and middle conductive layers, and a lower insulation layer disposed between the middle and lower conductive layers, and which includes an upper via conductor that penetrates through the upper insulation layer and connects the upper conductive layer and the middle conductive layer, and a lower via conductor that penetrates through the lower insulation layer and connects the middle conductive layer and the lower conductive layer; an upper-surface side buildup layer formed on the upper surface of the multilayer core substrate and made up of interlayer resin insulation layers and conductive layers; a lower-surface side buildup layer formed on the lower surface of the multilayer core substrate and made up of interlayer resin insulation layers and conductive layers; and an end-surface through hole that connects the conductive layers of the upper-surface side buildup layer and the conductive layers of the lower-surface side buildup layer. In such a printed wiring board, the middle conductive layer is formed to be thicker than any of the upper conductive layer and lower conductive layer, and is connected to the end-surface through hole.

In a printed wiring board according to one aspect of the present invention, the middle conductive layer formed to be thick in the center of the core substrate is connected to an end-surface through hole provided at an end surface of the printed wiring board. Thus, heat generated in the printed wiring board is efficiently radiated by way of the end-surface through hole. Accordingly, the printed wiring board has a high heat radiation capability.
